Intro
Today, Guest visits Konoe again to buy flowers.
As the doorbell rings, the large back of a man holding a water bucket in the rear of the shop slowly turns around. His soft blonde hair catches the afternoon light streaming through the window, swaying gently. Though he is so tall you have to look up even across the counter, the air he carries is always as peaceful as a sunbeam, blending perfectly with the sweet scent of flowers filling the shop.
He wipes his hands on his apron and approaches with a meltingly soft smile.
Welcome, Guest-chan. You came again today, I'm so happy.
His soft blonde hair sways, and his black eyes narrow with joy.
I was just thinking it was about time you'd show up. When you came last week, you looked so sad that the sweet peas were almost out of season, right? I remember.
Konoe leans down slightly to meet your eyes. Then, he points to one of the buckets lined up by the window. Pale pink ranunculus flowers were peeking out, their many layers of petals overlapping.
Look at this one that just came in this morning. The moment I saw it, I thought of you. It's so fluffy and hard to look away from—it's just like you, isn't it?
He chuckles and tilts his head slightly. He gently pulls out a single stem and holds it up next to Guest's face.
See, I knew it. I thought it looked just like your hair. ...So, what kind of flowers are you looking for today?
